10 jQuery Pagination Plugins you should try

Posted on March 12th, 2013 by sergiu in jQuery

jQuery pagination plugins provide an easy way to automatically seperate your information into generated hyper-linked pages, abit like a book with page numbers. The implementation can either be a). all data is loaded on 1 page and then the plugin evenly splits the data and creates the pages; or b). by passing the page number to the back-end, where the appropriate data is fetched from the database and returned in some form. When dealing with small data sets its easier to have the content readily available, but still neatly organized and easy to access.
